"This rare synth is in fully working condition. Amazing Vintage VCO sound!
- All encoders work perfect with no value jumping.
-All Buttons And Knobs in great working condition
- Display works perfectly
- Tuning Passes Every time
- Comes With Flight Case"
"So we have a nice little upgrade to the firmware which brings a couple of benefits, one being a screen saver to give the screen a longer life - I thought was a nice touch.
I also thought you might like to see what amazing concept they came up with for the screensaver and I provided an appropriately epic underscoring (sorry Dave - love you).
The update is also worth it for the new tempo sync option, have a look at the download tab on the following page - it's easy to complete the update:
"No pigeons were hurt during the filming of this video!
We teamed up again with HalutioN to record a crazy 3x KORG VOLCA FM jam. All the sounds in this jam are coming from our 3 Volcas + heavy processing via Line 6 M5 (drive), Octatrack (Compressor, Filter, Reverb, Freeze Delay) and Behringer VD400."
"Jamming and improvising on my eurorack modular synth. There are few different jams in this one. I ran the whole thing through an OTO Machines BAM for delicious reverb. The main sound sources are the TipTop Z3000 and One. I then feed those through the 2040 and VCF-74 filters. The Z3000 is also run through the Fold Processor. The main sequencer is the Z8000 which is first quantized with the Quantizer before being fed to control the Z3000. The Make Noise Tempi is driving the Z8000 and the Z4000 envelope generator which is turn is modulating the Z2040. The Make Noise Maths also helps to modulate the Fold Processor parameters. The drums and percussion sounds are a combination of the Peaks in drum mode and the One sampler.

"The Casio XW-P1 was a disappointment for me, although I can see why some musicians would love it. It's got a lot of features that would take a long time to learn. The sounds are average at best, but it's clear that with considerable effort you could make some great complex tones."
Korg DSS-1 synthesizer/sampler review and programming guide
Published on Jun 28, 2017 Yateveo
"Here's a pretty long review and exploration of the Korg DSS-1, the digital/analog sampler/synth mega-hybrid from 1986. This thing is a beast, both in sound and physical presence. It's over 40 pounds and so big I had trouble fitting the whole thing in one shot!
In this video, I explore some of the features of the DSS-1 and discuss its place in the history of synthesizers/samplers as well as potential uses in a modern studio. If you just want to hear some sounds, skip to 33:16."
"Here's a long-form presentation of Korg's 1983 analog synth, the Poly-800.
In this video, I focus heavily on Korg's product decisions that led to how the Poly-800 took shape and was, over the years, assessed by the public. I discuss how to program the Poly-800, a few key features, and its various strengths and weaknesses.
Overall, it's a pretty nerdy synth talk. I hope you find it interesting.

Philosophy:
Our bodies are temples, these temples are moveable by the will of our mind and spirit, used to act, interact, hold facades and tell the truth about our wellbeing. Yes, sometimes it’s wise to listen to our temples, they can tell us stories about ourselves.
Can your mind control THIS temple?
It’s minimalistic lay-out tells it’s user something, but not everything. Treated with respect it echoes and reflects, but when overdone in excessive behaviour it becomes hard to balance and the side-effects start to kick in.
I hear you say what? You are enjoying the side-effects?
In the end it’s up to you which poison you take."
